Mrs Zappa during the Q/A session for Zappa at RHouse stated to a general query about stuff coming out, that BCP will be out in January.

Jeff Simmons was also onstage too. He approached Herbie in '69 for a £100, as he was momentarily skint and was given Lucille instead! I'm iinterested to learn that he was only 19 when the song and Lp was recorded.

This album however i do really enjoy and is one of my all-time favorite Beefheart albums.Almost every song is a killer (except for Brick Bats, that one only annoys me because of Don's overdubbed sax playing) and Floppy Boot Stomp, Owed T'Alex and Thousandth and Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole are some of Beefheart's (and of course the Magic Band's) best work !

According to John French's superb book, the original tapes have been remixed by Dweezil, Ahmet and Denny Walley, the original slide-guitar player for the original session.So, at least there was 1 person present at the remixing that was also present during the original recordings, so that's another reason to be curious about Gail's statement.

Also, next year january will be Don Van Vliet's 70th birthday, so to release the album then would make some sense.Although i don't think Don could really care a hot rats ass anymore...

Can't wait for this masterpiece by the Captain to be released. I have a CD-R of the original, don't know the source, but I know it's not the Ozit "Dust Sucker" one. It has the proper running order, w/ two versions of Candle Mambo. Will be great to have a proper version with full artwork/liner notes.

Been reading the BCP section in Drumbo's book. No one has really heard the Dweezil/Ahmet/Walley '97? mix yet. I hope it's not drastically different. Maybe they'll include the original mix and the remix, who knows.

I'm sure the putative release was not planned to be exploitative, as I feel as we are all getting older things are getting onto the front burner as opportunities to benefit from them diminish; but another significant moment has been reached and has now passed with the loss of Don.

Naw! I'm sure your not sure if he's sure,and it,like,shows,and,like-uh, when did you start talkin' like a totally teenager type? Oh, like, I'm not sure now either,really. Yous guys,are soooo great,happy Holidaze and Zappadan! War is Over if you want it. Now find the thread where I tell you what I got the local U.C.Davis K-DVS 90.3 radio guys to do,for CB........ or not.

JCB's passing was particularly heartfelt here on the forum and I'm glad to say he led an active life right to the end and indeed reached 70. The Mothers seemed to be the oldest bunch of reprobates in their day. It is a wonder that they in the main have survived longer than many of their contemporaries

Yes, on the forum. I don't think it was mentioned on Zappa.com.
